went to the cinema to see "28 days later" on saturday.

its like a cross between "night of the living dead", stephen king's "the stand", "lord of the flies" and 60s tv show "the prisoner"... very cool, and quite a head-f**k


in short, its rather f**king good! it manages to be claustrophobic, oppressing, dramatic, very very dark, and slightly comedic all at the same time. watching the main character's feelings of isolation and utter incomprehension at what has happened turn to hopelessness, anger, and then to thoughts of revenge as the film progresses is incredible.

its a fantastic idea for a film, and is very well executed.

me like!



note: try and see it when there's not many other people a the cinema. or get it on dvd when it comes out... the impact is much better when you dont have a bunch of kids shagging on the back row...

Yer just jealous they got the best seats Quiff!

Thanks for the recommendation...will check it out when it's released on 'noway I'm sitting in a cinema with Gaz' type formats

Debaser

yes its lovely isnt it..

the lads went to see it when it came out, i went to my italian class. we went for a curry after, they looked slightly... pale about the whole thing

Hmmmm thought it was ok, but nothing special to be honest.

Paddy.

The ending really spoiled it for me, I was enjoying it up until that point. Even the alternative ending on the DVD was pants.

The title sounds familiar. I rented a DVD a year ago with that title (if I'm not completly lost here). A UK film. All people were dead except for one guy.

I have to add that it was a Suterday evning. I could have been a bit drunk.

nice movie.
the best thing about it was the fact it wasn't such a 'good'/conventional' movie.
it playd with your mind at some moments

Not a bad film at all.

Mr Eccleston playing himself as usual. He's a virtual Pete Postlethwaite isn't he?

Except that he will now appear as the next Doctor Who with popstarlet Billy as his side-kick. Why Richard E. Grant didn't get the job I still don't understand. Not that I will be watching it anyway of course - i've got BBC4 now.

dito....but still , I can watch it over eand over again....stopping 5 minutes before the end

Sounds like it has an 'Invaision Of The Body Snatchers' original screenplay or remake ending, no?

Always had a soft spot for this movie -



sorry it's a biggun' QB

@Red. I remember Lifeforce! Must see it again.

Quality item snub!

it looks good
maybe I'll see if I can rent it one of these days...
what can I expect? SF? or horror or somthing els?.......

I thought it was poo. Sorry.

@christophe vampires from outer space kinda sums it up
@CP I think that was the point, make a Hammer style movie in the aftermath of Star Wars etc.

a recent film i liked was "Deathwatch" scary nazi's covered in barbed wire..........eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry, Red, I was talking about 28 Days Later (which I still maintain is poo). I've never seen Lifeforce.
